“The Bradley Years”

The Bradley Years represent the definitive collection of steelband music arrangements and performances for a large steel orchestra. This collection showcases seven classic arrangements from the master arranger Clive Bradley.  Bradley is considered to be the best steelband music arranger ever by many, including his peers.  In addition, the arrangements are performed by one of the finest steelbands in the world, New York’s Pantonic Steel Orchestra. Clive Bradley had a very special relationship with Pantonic.  This orchestra clinched the title of panorama champions five times in seven years - performing Bradley’s musical works.  The performances were captured by Basement Recordings days before, and in one instance, mere moments before they took the stage for the prestigious annual steelband music panorama competition. 

The recordings capture, reproduce and present an unrivalled clarity with sonic realism, of a large steel orchestra fielding between one hundred and one hundred twenty musicians - unlike any other steelband music recordings in its class.

This body of musical work is a sterling addition for all fans, educators, players, historians and fine music collectors.

 Bradley and Rebecca
 

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Rebecca was something else.

She left everybody in heat. And something else defined Rebecca. Not only the drinking and carousing. Might have been the wicked weed, too. How she had used it throughout the 1983 Carnival. Everywhere she went. In the dancehall. In the tent. On radio. By the Dry River. On the Hill. At Panorama.

 St. Lucia 2015 Panorama Results - A Three-Peat for PanTime Steel Orchestra as Champions Yet Again
Amrit Samaroo is Champion Panorama Arranger

Gros Islet, St. Lucia, W.I. - Defending Panorama champs PanTime Steel Orchestra appeared in the penultimate spot in this year’s competition, and tasted the bitter-sweet success of a three-peat as 2015 Panorama champs, without the physical presence of one of their stalwart supporters, in the person of the wife of band manager Cecil ‘Tortee’ Philgence.

The orchestra, founded in 2001, was Panorama champion in 2013 and 2014, making the grade on each occasion with long-time arranger Amrit Samaroo. Aiming for three titles in a row and succeeding, PanTime paid homage to the beloved wife of their band manager who passed away, and delivered Aunty Pam as their tune of choice, composed and arranged by Samaroo.

Beyond pan, mas, All Stars bids now for business glory
 

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - That Massy Trinidad All Stars has moved into business, as an investor in high-value Port of Spain real estate, marks a historic development for that leading steelband. Hell Yard, its evocative and legendary address, is now demonstrably too small to contain the band’s boundless 2015 aspirations.

Massy Trinidad All Stars has now become owner of the 42-44 Duke Street property lying immediately to the south and east of the landmark panyard. Expectations inevitably arise for the band to prove itself not just as a landlord, but also as a property developer.

The 80-year old band may justifiably boast of a distinguished track record in winning Panorama competitions and, lately, and more astonishingly, Carnival Band of the Year titles. At this big and enviable juncture, All Stars is mandated by history to demonstrate for the steelband movement’s community organisations the capacity to conquer fields beyond those of music and Carnival.
